Hello hello. ^_^
Okay, I am a massive US x UK shipper, everyone who knows me will tell you that, and I've been DYING to write a fic dedicated to them but...I know I can't do them justice. Their relationship is...well, special. XD But it is SO special, SO bitter-sweet that I think any attempt I make to write for them will end up being too fluffy, too angsty or just plain WRONG.
BUT. I'm also a fan of pairing England with France and Japan, and it got me to thinking;
Normal people have quite a few relationships in their lifetime, but very few utterly meaningful ones. I'm sure, then, it must be the same for our beloved nation-tans, right?
Englands' relationship with America is, in my opinion, the destined kind. They will, eventually, figure this out.
France? A more physical, hate-hate affair. They are, after all, shared-fate nations and really...well, as much we both bitch (UK and France that is) I'm pretty sure we like eachother really.
Japan? I've often thought how similar we Brits and the Japanese are, as a nation and as people. It's hard to describe, but I'm sure many of you will know what mean.
SO! Because I'm too humbled to write US x UK, I have prepared two fics that hopefully contrast eachother and highlight just how different each relationship is.
